A large 6 cylinder 'wide track' saloon originally
bodied by Weymanns, later ones designed and built 'in
house' or by Briggs Available with the 14/6 or 15/6
but not a big seller and seems to have a production
run of around thirty in the two years it was sold.
Another of Rileys attempt to get a toehold in the
large limousine/Saloon market with a taller,
heavier car 1372 kg at the kerb. Top stated speed is
around 113 km/h or 70 mph which for the age and weight
is respectable.

By Heniochus. Riley Six Successful Model. One of the
most delightful new cars of this season is the Stelvio
Riley saloon of 14 h.p. Because it is a fast touring
carriage seldom taking part in competition work, it is
less in the lime light than the Riley "Nine," the
champion of the II00-cc. non-supercharged engine
class. I think that the Stelvio saloon, costing £398,
is the most speedy and comfortable carriage in the
£400 market. Its maximum speed is eighty miles an
hour. The silent third is easy to change up and down
at over sixty miles an hour, while the coach work is
admirably fitted. The Alpine Six Riley has a shorter
wheelbase and narrower track. This chassis, of the
same specification other wise as the Stelvio chassis,
has the same 13-53h.p. over head valved engine and
four-speed gear box. Its Weymann panelled saloon costs
£365. One of these Alpine cars was recently tested as
an "amphibian Riley, fitted with floats to enable its
owner to use it on a journey across Africa as a ferry
as well as a car over the rivers. This change-over
outfit takes about an hour to fit on the chassis, but
can be carried on the car. It consists of a frame
work, with rubber balloons as floats, which can be
attached to each side of the car and further secured
by cross-pieces front and rear of the chassis. The
side-pieces are fixed to the running boards, so that
the air balloons float parallel to the wheels. In a
test at Pixham Ferry, on the River Severn, near
Worcester, this Alpine Riley Six success fully
launched itself on the water and kept an even keel
when towed by a motor-launch at four miles an hour.
Its owner. Captain Malius, declared himself well
satisfied, so this car is shortly to proceed to Africa
with him. from The Sketch - Wednesday 15 April

Riley, Few changes
are indicated in the Stand 86 Riley programme for
1930. The only chassis alterations to the 9 h.p. are
a new method of mounting the head lamps and the
fitting of a steel apron between the front dumb
irons. The head lamps, by the way, are fitted with
the Rotax dip-and-switch equipment. Alterations to
the bodywork and equipment are also slight. The 14
h.p. Six, introduced last year, is retained with
only minor alterations, but a new design of the
Stelvio saloon, known as the Stelvio II, has been
introduced on this chassis. The actual exhibit at
Olympia comprises three examples of the Riley Nine
and two of the Six. Of the latter one is the Stelvio
II saloon, which is shown with a black fabric
finish, black wings and chassis, cream wheels, and
brown furniture hide upholstery. The equipment is
very complete, and includes driver-controlled rear
window blind, roof light, and two cubby holes. Its
price is £495. The other is a Deauville coachbuilt
saloon. The Bystander - Wednesday 16 October

Dicta. By Heniochus. IpJ Riley Six Stelvio Saloon.
The excellent performance of the Riley "Nine" in the
hands of Mr. R. T. Horton by winning the Class G
(1100 c.c.) Tourist Trophy prize at Ulster makes an
excellent introduction to the new Riley ''Six"
Stelvio saloon. This is a larger edition (with a
six-cylinder engine) of the famous four-cylinder
"Nine." Rated at 13-53 n.p. witn its 1033-c.c. cubic
capacity, this engine has all the accelerating
virtues for comfortable driving. It also has that
